Keith chairman Andy Troup has welcomed Brechin City into the Highland League and assured the Glebe Park men they will now be considered part of the family. The Angus side announced earlier this week they will be playing Highland League football after losing last month’s SPFL pyramid play-off final against Kelty Hearts. Brechin’s subsequent attempt to join the Lowland League instead of the Highland League was unanimously rejected by the 17 member clubs. © SNS GroupTroup said: “Brechin will realise when they come into the league that the Highland League is one big family really. “With the pandemic it didn’t surprise me at all that the Highland League pulled together because that’s what we do when things get tough,” Troup added.
